A police officer claims that the proportion of accidents that occur in the daytime (versus nighttime) at a certain intersection

is 35%. To test this claim, a random sample of 500 accidents at this intersection was examined from police records it is determined that 156 accidents occurred in the daytime. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: {H0:p=0.35Ha:p≠0.35 Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer: -1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given description, we have

Population proportion : p=0.35

Sample size : n= 500

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{156}{500}=0.312

Test statistic for population proportion :-

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.312-0.35}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.35(1-0.35)}{500}}}\\\\=-1.78146747757\ \ \text{(Simplified)}\\\\\approx-1.78

Hence, the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion= -1.78

Consider this option:
1. rule: if the scalar product PQ*RS=0, then PQ⊥RS.
2. PQ=(3;-2), RS=(8;1).
3. The scalar product of PQ*RS=3*8-1*2=22≠0. The line included PQ is not perpendicular to the line included RS.

The gas tank of the truck holds 30 gallons the gas tank of a passenger car holds 50% less how many gallons does it hold?
love history [14]

Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much the passenger car holds, we need to first find what 50% of the trucks gas tank holds.

Truck Gas Tank = 30 gallons

Now we find how much 50% of 30 is:

50% = 0.50

Total = 30 x 0.50

Total = 15 Gallons

So the passenger car holds 15 gallons of gas.

The books in a private library are classified as fiction and nonfiction. There are 400 books in the library. There are 40 more f
andriy [413]
Given:
Total number of books = 400
fiction books = x + 40
non fiction books = x

x + x + 40 = 400
2x + 40 = 400
2x = 400 - 40
2x = 360
x = 360/2
x = 180  non fiction books

x + 40 = 180 + 40 = 220 fiction books.

Audrey picks a book: P(non fiction) = 180/400
Ryan picks a book: P(non fiction) = 179/399

Which expression is equivalent to the given polynomial expression?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

C. -31m⁴n - 8m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Required:

Determine an expression equivalent to it

Solution:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Distribute the negative sign to open the parentheses

9mn - 19m⁴n - 8m² - 12m⁴n - 9mn

Combine like terms

9mn - 9mn - 19m⁴n - 12m⁴n - 8m²

-31m⁴n - 8m²

Therefore, -31m⁴n - 8m² is an equivalent expression of (9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)
